As delegates to a simulated contemporary constitutional conference, students develop, negotiate and ultimately decide whether or not to support proposed amendments to Canada's constitution.
As a delegate to a contemporary constitutional conference, students develop, negotiate, revise and, ultimately, decide whether or not to support a proposed package of amendments to Canada’s Constitution.
In this 10 - 15 hour simulation of a contemporary constitutional conference, focussed around building consensus, students are assigned to one of five groups, each representing a region of Canada. Although the issues can be modified depending on teacher and student interest, the simulation provides background information for students to consider the constitutional implications of four areas of dispute: cultural diversity and equity; language protection; Aboriginal rights; federal-provincial power sharing.
